Predictions

The Dota 2 Summit 9 is back with yet again another interesting game on its sleeve – EG vs the South American powerhouse – paiN gaming. Both teams have had many ups and downs during the Pro Circuit season, which in the end led them outside of the top eight teams that got a direct invite for TI 8. Regardless of that, the teams have managed to qualify for the event, managing to go through the open qualifiers. While people were not surprised that paiN gaming did so, many of the analyzers thought that EG might struggle and even fail to qualify for the event. However, the US pride have managed to prove them wrong and they are back once again in the most prestigeous tournament in Dota 2.

In a direct clash between each other we believe that EG are the favorites here. They have better individual players as well as overall team play.
